A.V. Club - Cook County Review

A.V. Club - Anson Mount is currently heading up the Western drama Hell On Wheels, but a different AMC series inevitably comes to mind when watching Mount in Cook County, David Pomes’ directorial debut. Mount plays a psychotic mess of a man overseeing a crumbling East Texas house populated by his teenage nephew (Ryan Donowho), his 6-year-old daughter (Makenna Fitzsimmons), his aging father (Tommy Townsend), a pile of hangers-on, and a meth lab that tends to catch fire when whoever’s using it gets distracted. Since everyone’s high all the time, that happens often.
